From my understanding 1) many of those affidavits were just hear say with little corroborating evidence, extreme claims "The US government is fundamentally illegitimate" requires more extreme evidence than "I heard a guy who said they were a poll watch saw things go weird"

2) and other witnesses wildly embellished their credibility, Joshua Merritt, aka "Spider" aka "Spyder" was listed as a military intelligence expert, while what is able to be verified is that he enlisted in the training program but failed to complete the entry level material.

The arguments have been made, the evidence has been examined, to say /no/ investigation has occurred is willfully misinformed at this point.

Most people could probably tell apart wine by style (somewhat), not by price, which is if not arbitrary then a result of factors that don't necessarily reflect "better taste", and non-avid consumers wouldn't agree on what "better taste" means anyway (see: broad preference for milder tasting coffee over super-strong medium-roast with sharper, fruitier notes). Some styles of wine are somewhat more expensive in general, and in my experience usually taste better. Often regionally protected wines can fall into this category, e.g. Barolo, Chianti, Amarone. I don't really find these expensive, but I expect wine-lovers would tell you you can't find a $5 vino as nice as a $40 one. Beyond that it's quickly diminishing returns and status-seeking.

More people own cars in the US -> more gas purchased -> more total tax. Contrary to popular belief, the amount of cars driving over a road doesn't really contribute to how often it has to be repaved/repaired -- a road's wear is almost entirely based on its age. The more cars you have, the less fuel taxes will be to maintain the same amount of road surface.

This means that when EVs become more popular, there'll be clever ways of taxing them too, whether it's an insurance surcharge or an up-front purchase tax or some sort of special "electricity for EVs" tax. This is the honeymoon period when they seem super cheap to drive, but that'll change as they replace fuel-powered cars and someone needs to pay for the roads/infra.

No one ever claimed that hand-counting is perfect. Is isn't. For example, all of the Chicago ballot boxes that famously ended up in Lake Michigan in the middle of the last century.

But hand-counting works because it's virtually impossible to coordinate fraud widespread enough to actually make a difference. Whereas, if your entire voting system is computerized and all the computers are linked together, causing widespread changes are much more possible.
Aero engines are exceptionally reliable and don't "stall". However, electric does have advantages; less costly to maintain (theoretically; this still needs to be actually proven) and the pilots will like the high torque available at lower RPMs. This can allow designs with slower propellers that in turn will lower prop noise.

Right now I'm focusing more on the design of compressed data structures. RDBMS are complex systems, and gaining sufficient knowledge of their internals would require several months of work. Though, it would wonderful for me to collaborate with some RDBMS engineers to integrate my current research efforts in their system.

Actually, some time ago, we asked a bachelor's student at the University of Pisa to integrate the PGM-index in Redis (which is simpler than an RDBMS). He did it, and the results were really promising, -3x overall memory usage with respect to Redis ZSETs.

Interesting.

But when? The snowbird business would have died off a month ago. It probably was a good business for them, and something that popped up in areas that didn’t already have short-haul flights. Maybe they still do them as charters for those that don’t want to sit with rando pax.

The attack vector isn’t the tabulation, it’s the mail-in ballot sleeves.

The identity of the voter is on the outer envelope which is separated from the ballot and destroyed after their signature is checked. An attacker could insert manufactured ballots to be tabulated after this process and there would be no way to know if they are legitimate or not - they’re anonymous now too so you can’t check with the voter and the voter can’t verify their vote.

You can recount the ballots all you want if this attack occurred, because the fake and real ballots would be indistinguishable and unauditable.

At any given time I have somewhere around 50 books "in flight" in the sense that I've read at least a few pages and put it in "currently reading" status on Goodreads. But there's usually one (or two) that are getting the bulk of my attention. Right now the main book I'm focusing on is Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach by Norvig and Russell. I'd had this on my shelf for years and never got serious about working my way through the entire thing until recently. And I have to say, I now really regret not starting this project sooner. There's so much great stuff in this book.

I'm not just "reading" it like a novel though. I "just read" up to a certain point (basically the end of the section on inference using FOL) and now I'm going back to a certain point (the beginning of the section on logic based agents) and going back through and doing exercises, implementing the algorithms myself, etc. Once I've satisfied myself that I have done all I need to do with this area, I'll pick back up with the section that starts talking about Uncertainty and repeat the process.

And I'll keep picking through a couple of these other 49 books in random moments of idle time here and there. I'll probably finish Behind The Cloud by Marc Benioff soon.

Reading frequency? Not sure what you mean. I read everyday with few exceptions, but since books vary in length and density, I can't say "I read two books a week" or anything like that. But FWIW, I log my reading with Goodreads, and over the last 10 years or so of my life, I've averaged finishing somewhere between 35-50 or so books per year.
OP here, appreciate the feedback! Hope you find something cool while browsing.
I hate to be the person that needs to point it out, but you can't say replace "the cloud with x" and replace "servers with x" and then 500 pixels down the page talk about how you're pushing your static site to a CDN. Perhaps the target audience won't recognize how dishonest that is, but it's still a lie.

> Harriers, F-35s, and Ospreys are all VTOL aircraft that could’ve launch from a sub. The other airplanes have only one engine and the osprey 2. They already land vertically on carriers.

F-35s and Ospreys didn't exist when this was proposed (the Harrier, but not the Harrier II, did), and the use of a Mach-3 fighter after consideration of the F11F suggests that the role envisioned for the fighters was interception, which is at best a secondary role of the F-35, and not a role of the Harrier (and even less the Osprey).

> I don’t think the image in the article would’ve worked where planes take off going straight up without additional thrusters.

I doubt it would have been practical for recovery at sea; launch would have worked better, and, IIRC, both were demonstrated successfully with prototype aircraft on land.
Congratulations.

At $300k TC, most people in the United States could pay off their mortgage and retire after only 3-5 years of working. Is this what you mean?

I took the statement to mean that "in many/most places in the US", software engineers are earning a $300k TC by the time they reach retirement age.
I still think is not correct in many/most places. It is correct only in a very small minority of places.

In the US by 2030 both 2G and 3G will be a distant memory.

AT&T shut down its 2G GSM network at the end of 2016 and intends to shut down its 3G network early next year.

Verizon intended to shut down its 2G and 3G CDMA networks at the end of last year but delayed to the end of next year.

T-Mobile US is operating its 2G GSM network entirely within the guard bands of its 3G UMTS service (which means the bandwidth available is extremely limited) and while they haven't specified a set date for shutting down their 2G and 3G service they are no longer investing in expanding it (see the difference between their 3G[1] and 4G[2] coverage maps) and I don't see it lasting significantly longer than AT&T's or Verizon's 2G/3G networks.

Following the T-Mobile acquisition, the entire Sprint legacy network (2G, 3G, and 4G LTE) is going to be shut down by the end of this year with all customers being transferred to the T-Mobile network.

Dish Wireless's new cellular network (which is being built out as part of the legal settlement that permitted the T-Mobile/Sprint merger) will be entirely 5G from the start with no 2G, 3G, or 4G service offered.

Who else (short of the CEO) would you consider more qualified to comment on the safety culture in a company?

Pilots seem uniquely qualified to judge whether a company is prioritizing safety or short-term profit.

For example, a pilot will know whether the company incentivizes pilots to overlook issues to make a flight happen or whether it encourages a safety culture of speaking up and staying on the ground when something comes up, or whether they fly with the absolute minimum of fuel permitted or a little bit more (and whether that is a safety issue or not).
The EFF needs to get to the point that politicians seriously consider fighting them. Its the only real way to effect change in the US. As we have seen multiple times, the other folks keep introducing bills over and over again. That needs to be a hard stop and the only way to get there is fear because logic just doesn't work for tech.

I strongly believe that, through legal/social/regulatory pressure, we can make housing not a commodity market. Just like we don't consider our roads or elementary schools to be a commodity market.

I'm happy to discuss more, in depth, but just dismissing the idea out of hand with "you might as well jump off a building" doesn't raise any substantive objections to further a discussion.
I don’t think the data bears out that there’s a vast safety opportunity for electric motors.

From the 2018 Nall report (the most recent I could readily find on my phone), mechanical failure is sub 20% of accidents and sub 7% of fatal accidents.

Pilots are around 75% of the primary link in the accident reports.
> You emphatically don't need to share values with someone to get along with them or work with them or trust them.

I guess it depends what "trust" means to you. to me it often means something like "I can expect this person to make the same (or similar) decision I would in situation X, therefore I do not need to watch them as closely". some values can be irrelevant in certain contexts. if I'm a communist and my coworker is an ancap, it probably doesn't affect our ability to work together on a software project. but if I'm very risk averse (in an engineering sense) and my coworker has a "move fast and break things" mindset, I am going to have to pay a lot more attention to their code reviews.

Why Canadians Can't Bike in the Winter (But Finnish People Can)
High torque at lower RPMs is still an untapped potential of electrification for aviation. Having more options for placement of propeller (behind the rudder, for example, where a larger and slower propeller could be placed) is huge. NASA is also experimenting with many small propellers placed ahead of the wings which can result in higher efficiency at cruise, but unfortunately doing their most work when the plane is flying slowest (just before landing). We'll see! But many exciting possibilities.

Taboola and Outbrain have disgusting products. Their recommendations lead to content that is sketchy at best, and their business model is to pry on the unsuspecting at scale.

These types of companies are the very definition of extractive elite: they provide close to nothing of value and yet soak up a bunch of profits in the hands of a few.

I'd be happy to hear someone refute my claims, especially the latter.

Well without any details on where these clips are coming from it's impossible to know what's happening or if it's already been addressed.

A number of the clips though look like they're from the Detroit counting at the TMC Center where some Republican observers weren't allowed back in after they left because the room was at capacity because they'd been replaced by other Republican observers. At no point were there only Democratic observers or a significant imbalance, both parties had observers that weren't able to reenter!
